The Ruling on a Muslim Killing a Protected Non-Muslim
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a Muslim killed a protected non-Muslim. Is retaliation carried out against him? No,
Answer:
a Muslim is not subject to retaliation by a non-Muslim. However, the killer is to be given a discretionary punishment as the one in authority deems appropriate for him and those like him. Otherwise, a Muslim is not killed for a non-Muslim. He says: Honorable Shaykh, except if the killer is carrying a weapon in the markets of the Muslims, attacking people. In that case, he is dealt with from the perspective of policy to protect blood. This is considered like a highway robber, like those who rob the roads who assault people, kill them, and take their money. It is like the Khawarij, whether Muslim or non-Muslim, who kill whoever they find. This is considered an aggressor who is repelled, even if it results in his killing.
